`forDateRange(dateRange)`

Sets a predefined date range onto the selector. Supported values:

TODAY, YESTERDAY, LAST_7_DAYS, LAST_14_DAYS, LAST_30_DAYS, LAST_BUSINESS_WEEK, LAST_WEEK_SUN_SAT, LAST_WEEK_MON_SUN, THIS_WEEK_MON_TODAY, THIS_WEEK_SUN_TODAY, LAST_MONTH, THIS_MONTH, ALL_TIME. Example:

selector.forDateRange("THIS_WEEK_SUN_TODAY");

Date range must be specified if the selector has conditions or ordering for a stat field. Note that only the last date range specified for the selector will take effect.

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
dateRange	`String`	Date range to set onto the selector.

Return values:

Type	Description
`AdsApp.VideoAdSelector`	The selector with date range applied.

`forDateRange(dateFrom, dateTo)`

Sets a custom date range onto the selector. Both parameters can be either an object containing year, month, and day fields, or an 8-digit string in YYYYMMDD form. For instance, March 24th, 2013 is represented as either {year: 2013, month: 3, day: 24} or "20130324". The date range is inclusive on both ends, so forDateRange("20130324", "20130324") sets the range of one day.

Date range must be specified if the selector has conditions or ordering for a stat field. Note that only the last date range specified for the selector will take effect.

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
dateFrom	`Object`	Start date of the date range.
dateTo	`Object`	End date of the date range.

Return values:

Type	Description
`AdsApp.VideoAdSelector`	The selector with date range applied.

`get()`

Fetches the requested video ads and returns an iterator.

Return values:

Type	Description
`AdsApp.VideoAdIterator`	Iterator of the requested video ads.

`orderBy(orderBy)`

Specifies the ordering of the resulting entities. orderBy parameter can have one of the following forms:

orderBy("metrics.cost_micros") - orders results by metrics.cost_micros, in ascending order.
orderBy("metrics.ctr ASC") - orders results by metrics.ctr, in ascending order.
orderBy("ad_group_criterion.cpc_bid_micros DESC") - orders results by ad_group_criterion.cpc_bid_micros, in descending order.

See VideoAdSelector.withCondition(String) for enumeration of columns that can be used.

orderBy() may be called multiple times. Consider the following example:

selector = selector.forDateRange("LAST_14_DAYS")
    .orderBy("metrics.clicks DESC")
    .orderBy("metrics.ctr ASC");

The results will be ordered by metrics.clicks in descending order. Results with equal metrics.clicks value will be ordered by metrics.ctr in ascending order.

If a stats column is used in the ordering, date range must be specified via VideoAdSelector.forDateRange(String) or VideoAdSelector.forDateRange(Object, Object).

LabelNames column cannot be used for ordering.

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
orderBy	`String`	Ordering to apply.

Return values:

Type	Description
`AdsApp.VideoAdSelector`	The selector with ordering applied.

`withCondition(condition)`

Adds the specified condition to the selector in order to narrow down the results.

Multiple conditions may be added to the same selector:

selector = selector.forDateRange("LAST_MONTH")
    .withCondition("metrics.clicks > 5")
    .withCondition("metrics.impressions > 100");

All specified conditions are AND-ed together. The above example will retrieve entities that observed over 100 metrics.impressions AND more than 5 clicks.

The parameter to be passed into this method must be of the following form:

"COLUMN_NAME OPERATOR VALUE"

Operators

The operator that can be used in a condition depends on the type of column.

For Integer and Long columns (e.g. metrics.clicks and metrics.impressions):
< <= > >= = !=
For Double columns (e.g. metrics.ctr):
< >

For String columns (e.g. campaign.name):
= != (NOT) (LIKE | CONTAINS | REGEXP_MATCH)

For Enumeration columns (ones that can only take one value from a predefined list, such as Status):
= != IN () NOT IN ()

For StringSet columns (e.g. campaign.labels):
CONTAINS ALL () CONTAINS ANY () CONTAINS NONE ()

Conditions using IN, NOT IN,

CONTAINS
ALL

, CONTAINS ANY and CONTAINS NONE operators look as follows:

withCondition("resource.column_name IN (Value1, Value2)")

Columns

All column names are case-sensitive, and so are all values of enumerated columns (such as Status).

Column	Type	Example
*Stats*
metrics.average_cpc	Double	`withCondition("metrics.average_cpc < 1.45")`
metrics.average_cpm	Double	`withCondition("metrics.average_cpm > 0.48")`
metrics.average_cpv	Double	`withCondition("metrics.average_cpv < 0.23")`
metrics.average_page_views	Double	`withCondition("metrics.average_page_views > 0")`
metrics.bounce_rate	Double	`withCondition("metrics.bounce_rate < 0.5")`
metrics.clicks	Long	`withCondition("metrics.clicks >= 21")`
metrics.conversions_from_interactions_rate	Double	`withCondition("metrics.conversions_from_interactions_rate > 0.1")`
metrics.conversions	Long	`withCondition("metrics.conversions <= 4")`
metrics.cost_micros	Double	`withCondition("metrics.cost_micros > 4480000")`. The value is specified in micros. E.g. $4.48 = 4480000.
metrics.ctr	Double	`withCondition("metrics.ctr > 0.01")`. Note that metrics.ctr is returned in `0..1` range, so 5% metrics.ctr is represented as 0.05.
metrics.impressions	Long	`withCondition("metrics.impressions != 0")`
*Ad attributes*
ad_group_ad.status	Enumeration: `ENABLED`, `PAUSED`, `REMOVED`	`withCondition("ad_group_ad.status = PAUSED")`
ad_group_ad.ad.display_url	String	`withCondition("ad_group_ad.ad.display_url REGEXP_MATCH 'www.example.com.*'")`
ad_group_ad.ad.final_urls	String	`withCondition("ad_group_ad.ad.final_urls CONTAINS ALL ('http://www.example.com')")`
ad_group_ad.ad.type	Enumeration: `VIDEO_BUMPER_AD`, `VIDEO_TRUEVIEW_IN_STREAM_AD`, `IN_FEED_VIDEO_AD`, `VIDEO_NON_SKIPPABLE_IN_STREAM_AD`, `VIDEO_RESPONSIVE_AD`	`withCondition("ad_group_ad.ad.type = 'VIDEO_TRUEVIEW_IN_STREAM_AD'")`
ad_group.name	String	`withCondition("ad_group.name REGEXP_MATCH '.shoes.'")`
ad_group.status	Enumeration: `ENABLED`, `PAUSED`, `REMOVED`	`withCondition("ad_group.status = ENABLED")`. Use to fetch ads from only `ENABLED` ad groups.
campaign.name	String	`withCondition("campaign.name REGEXP_MATCH '.promotion.'")`
campaign.status	Enumeration: `ENABLED`, `PAUSED`, `REMOVED`	`withCondition("campaign.status = ENABLED")`. Use to fetch ads from only `ENABLED` campaigns.

If a stats column is used in the condition, date range must be specified via VideoAdSelector.forDateRange(String) or VideoAdSelector.forDateRange(Object, Object).

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
condition	`String`	Condition to add to the selector.

Return values:

Type	Description
`AdsApp.VideoAdSelector`	The selector with the condition applied.

`withIds(ids)`

Restricts this selector to return only video ads with the given video ad IDs.

All video ads are uniquely identified by the combination of their video ad group ID and video ad ID. The IDs for this selector are thus represented as two-element arrays, with the first element being the video ad group ID and the second being the video ad ID:

var videoAdIds = [
  ['12345', '987987'],
  ['23456', '876876'],
  ['34567', '765765'],
];
selector = selector.withIds(videoAdIds);

In cases where the ad group ID is already known, the IDs for this selector can then be just an array of ad IDs. Any provided ad group ID and ad ID combination will override the embedded ad group ID. For instance, the following will select the ads with the given ad IDs in the given ad group:

var ids = ['12345', '23456', '34567'];
var videoAds = videoAdGroup.videoAds().withIds(ids);

The resulting selector can be further refined by applying additional conditions to it. The ID-based condition will then be AND-ed together with all the other conditions, including any other ID-based conditions. So, for instance, the following selector:

var ids1 = [
  ['12345', '987987'],
  ['23456', '876876'],
  ['34567', '765765'],
];
var ids2 = [
  ['34567', '765765'],
  ['45678', '654654'],
  ['56789', '543543'],
];
AdsApp.videoAds()
   .withIds(ids1)
   .withIds(ids2);

will only get the video ad with ID

['34567',
'765765']

, since it would be the only video ad that satisfies both ID conditions.

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
ids	`Object[][]`	Array of video ad IDs.

Return values:

Type	Description
`AdsApp.VideoAdSelector`	The selector restricted to the given IDs.

`withLimit(limit)`

Specifies limit for the selector to use. For instance, withLimit(50) returns only the first 50 entities.

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
limit	`int`	How many entities to return.

Return values:

Type	Description
`AdsApp.VideoAdSelector`	The selector with limit applied.

`withResourceNames(resourceNames)`

Restricts this selector to return only video ads with the given Google Ads API resource names.

const videoAdResourceNames = [
  'customers/1234567890/adGroupAds/111~222',
  'customers/1234567890/adGroupAds/111~333',
  'customers/1234567890/adGroupAds/444~555',
];
selector = selector.withResourceNames(videoAdResourceNames);

The resulting selector can be further refined by applying additional conditions to it. The resource name condition will then be AND-ed together with all the other conditions.

The selector can only support up to 10,000 resource names. If more than 10,000 resource names are specified, the corresponding get() call will fail with a runtime error.

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
resourceNames	`String[]`	Array of video ad resource names.

Return values:

Type	Description
`AdsApp.VideoAdSelector`	The selector restricted to the given resource names.
